Maybe I should start a new help topic?
I moved your posts to a new thread so we can get going here.
Let’s get this done.
- Install smbclient
sudo apt-get install smbclient - Post output of
smbclient -L 192.168.1.2 -U username_on _nas
Unless you have SMBv1 enabled on your NAS and Kodi set to max SMBv1 then the browsing for the machine isn’t going to work (in a Linux Kodi install) and you need to tweak your method slightly. When you go to add videos>browse instead of clicking on “windows network SMB” instead click on “add network location”. In the server name box enter ONLY the IP address (or machine name) of your NAS and then put your credentials in the user/pass sections. Leave the shared folder section empty and when you click OK you should now see the NAS in the list of sources and you will be able to browse into it now.
THis works, thanks. I will also try to continue with the autofs as above.
osmc@osmc:~$ smbclient -L 192.168.1.2 -U mattsnas

Ok assuming you have included /etc/auto.smb.shares in your /etc/auto.master your config line in /etc/auto.smb.shares should look like this (assuming you have remove your /etc/auto.nfs.shares
/mnt/share -fstype=cifs,rw,username=mattsnas,password=<password>,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc ://192.168.1.2/share
And replace <password> with your actual password (later if all works you can change to use the credentials file.
Now sudo systemctl restart autofs and ls -lah /mnt/share
I have removed the NFS server related share thinggee added line from within auto.nfs.shares but I haven’t removed the actual file I dont think? (it is now empty of text).
Within the auto.master file, does it need the same thing as the NFS one with “–timeout 15 browse”?
Currently: /- /etc/auto.nfs.shares --timeout 15 browse
Update: OK I found out, yes.
Currently inside auto.smb.shares is no text.
After now adding the line in your reply to the auto.smb.shares file:
osmc@osmc:~$ sudo systemctl restart autofs
osmc@osmc:~$ ls -lah /mnt/share
ls: cannot open directory ‘/mnt/share’: No such file or directory
osmc@osmc:~$
osmc@osmc:~$ ls -lah /mnt/mattsnas/share
ls: cannot access ‘/mnt/mattsnas/share’: No such file or directory
osmc@osmc:~$
so in auto.master is: (removed comments)
+dir:/etc/auto.master.d
+auto.master
/- /etc/auto.smb.shares --timeout 15 browse
And inside auto.smb.shares is:
/mnt/share -fstype=cifs,rw,username=mattsnas,password=password,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc ://192.168.1.2/share
Correct password of course entered.
Then check out the troubleshooting part in the How To
sudo systemctl stop autofs
sudo automount -f -v -d
And run ls -lah /mnt/share from second SSH session. Then share the output that comes after sudo automount -f -v -d

Did you run the ls -lah /mnt/share in a second SSH window before you stopped autofs with ctrl-c?
I did this time!!

I assume you changed password manually?
Let’s try it all manually without autofs
sudo mkdir /mnt/share
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,username=mattsnas,password=,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc //192.168.1.2/share /mnt/share
if that gives an error let’s try lower SMB version
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,username=mattsnas,password=,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc,vers=3.0 //192.168.1.2/share /mnt/share
if that not work
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,username=mattsnas,password=,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc,vers=2.1 //192.168.1.2/share /mnt/share
always putting in the correct password.
It may be helpful if you could copy/paste the output of…
cat /etc/auto.master
cat /etc/auto.smb.shares
cat /etc/auto.nfs.shares
modifying it only to replace your credentials with the words USERNAME and PASSWORD. Also after you paste the text into a post select it all and press </> in the edit bar so it displays correctly. Sometimes we make typos that are hard to spot ourselves 
Or create a temporary password that you change after we got this going.
Yes I changed “password” manually.
if that gives an error let’s try lower SMB version
sudo mount -t cifs -o rw,username=mattsnas,password=,iocharset=utf8,uid=osmc,gid=osmc,vers=3.0 //192.168.1.2/share /mnt/share
This worked, well no error anyway. (the second one on your list).
